It's a "3-pixel thing" that IE does with blocks following a float that also 
"have layout" as David mentioned. I'm not sure that floating the right column 
will give you the look you want, unless you specify a width.

A solution that maintains the column width without specifying it  is to give 
the LEFT column a negative 3px margin on the right side. 

#left {
  height: 100%;
  width: 70%;
  background: #CCC;
  float: left;
  margin-right: -3px; /* <<<<<<<<<< */
}

You'll probably want to hide this "adjustment" from other browsers so use your 
favorite technique so only IE/Win sees the negative margin. I can't recall at 
the moment if IE7 will have this bug fixed, but if it has, you'll need to hide 
your IE5-6 fixes from that browser as well when the time comes.

hope that helps,
